Exhalar (feat. Zaia Ma)

I recorded this track with the talented Kes Reid on vocals and lyrics.

Lyrics:

Ándate para la madrugada hijo siempre para adelante 
Es lejitos que hay que caminar mi joven 
Y cada paso es brillante
Tu pasado, tu pueblo, tu tierra es tu cargo 
Que nunca te olvides
Hay camino hay futuro, hay cantos y flores

Cuando la madrugada cae 
Anda en confianza 
Cuando la luna sube 
Anda en confianza

(Poema) Que la madrugada te brinda su copa bella
Que sus vientos te recuerdan de todo lo que eres, de todos que pasaron antes
Que el sol te alumbra como la piedra más alta de la montaña
Que seas la piedra, que seas la montaña, que caminas por el rayo del sol

Muyuririririri

English translation: 

Walk towards the dawn, child
Always move forward.
It’s far to walk, my youth 
But every step shines
Your past, your people, and your land are your charge
So never forget
There is a path, there is a future, there are songs and flowers 

When the dawn falls 
Walk in trust
When the moon rises
Walk in trust 
(Repeat)

(Poem) May the dawn offer you it’s cup of beauty
May its winds remind you of all that you are, and all who came before you 
May the sun shine on you as the highest rock on the mountain
May you be the rock, may you be the mountain, may you walk with the ray of sun 

May it be so

*************

Inspired by Kichwa Amazonian prayer songs, and the cultural honour shown towards youth.

Madrugada (feat. Kes Reid)

I am grateful to have been graced with Vidia Weselund's vocal for this new track.

Ok (EarthWave Remix)

Beltane Fire is a set to celebrate that we have made it to the halfway point between spring equinox and summer solstice!! This is a huge time to celebrate, especially when you live in the northern hemisphere and have made it through the 6 months of darkness (inside and out).
The Celtic beats bring you ALIVE, to feel your fire and to share it with the world.  And...it is just the right amount of Celtic vibes--not tooo much, and not toooo little, but juuuust enough!!  I hope you stoke your wild fire today and share your motherfucking light with the world!!  And find my Poetic spoken word at the end of Part 2!!

Beltane Fire Part 1- Alchemy: Ecstatic Dance Sanctuary, May 1, '24

This track is inspired one my favorite Hijaz flutes

The Moon Bodega - In the poem about love, you never use the word love.

Srikalogy and DJ Taz Rashid sat together in meditation for weeks straight. Only emerging to express through sound what they had experienced. In the depths of inner stillness beyond space and time, they began to remember, unlock past memories of what they were and who they currently are.

What are your royal memories? A king? a healer? a freedom fighter? A yogi in the Himalayas? A servant at the feet of the divine?

This album is dedicated to bringing you back to your Royal Memories.
